I noticed over at AMDZone that NVIDIA has released new drivers (Version: 53.04) for Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit.

Supports all Intel IA-32e 64-bit extended technology enabled platforms, AMD Opteron

Duke gave me a heads up on this one. Apparently over at nVNews there was a post regarding some new Linux drivers for us nVidia graphics card owners. What do they do for us?- Fix many SMP problems- Fix...

These babies are up to version 5.13! I tried them out today, and I must say... They rock (on my GeForce)! There is probably a million places to download them, but I got mine at VoodooExtreme....

I was expecting to see a bunch of Win2k drivers released in the next few days and it looks like Nvidia is one of the first to step up to the plate. New Detonator 3.78 drivers for Win2k can be had rig...

I noticed this over at Anand's. It seems there has been another "leaked" set of Nvidia reference drivers for Win2k. After the positive feedback I got on the last ones, I figured I'd better...

#27145 Posted on: 02/23/2004 09:47 PM Well, this isn't surprising, as Intel is the more influential one. Intel says "Drivers, IA-32e, NOW!" Everyone else "Yep, right here." AMD says "Drivers, AMD64, NOW!" Everyone else "Yep, maybe later." (in Microsoft's case...ALOT later...ATI...Non-existant!). I'm just waiting for the first person (2cpu forum-ner) who buys one or GamePC throwing up a review and doing some sort of comparison...It'll be interesting to see their perspective on it... Sempron (Socket 754): 2x Abit NF8-V (nForce3 250Gb) and ASRock K8SLI-eSATA2 (ULi M1697) Dual CPU love: Supermicro P6DBE (i440BX), PIIIDRE (i840), 2x PIIIDR3 (i840), 4x ASUS P3C-D (i820), and ACorp 6A815EPD1 (i815EP) OSs?: Linux, Solaris and BSDs.

#27146 Posted on: 02/23/2004 10:27 PM speaking of 2CPU.com forum members and 64-bit computing, guru has a great site www.planetAMD64.com he made for stuff like this. Nice site, and has a great driver database (actually, I don't have a 64 bit computer so I wouldn't know much about how great it is, but knowing guru... it must be good. ). guru isn't around here too much anymore... I guess he is tied up with the massive influx of users he's been having with the overclockers.com news post about his site and stuff.

But, if I'm not mistaken, they did release AMD64 drivers almost immediately after the Opteron's release, so if there's one company that isn't playing Intel's good doggy, it's nVidia. Now, Microsoft, I don't get it. They don't have anything to gain by delaying Windows XP64 until Intel have an Opteron clone. On the contrary; it would give them an advantage when negotiating with Intel. Maybe Otellini has some embarrassing pictures of Steve Ballmer? No, wait, everyone has embarrassing pictures of Steve Ballmer, so that can't be it... RMN ~~~

#27148 Posted on: 02/25/2004 06:10 AM Well, I'd say that this officially marks the Wintel world in the lead in terms of 64bit computing. We now have TWO 64bit chips -- Opteron and Athlon64. And Intel 64bit is due in the coming months (next quarter). Not only that, but MS (in addition to having been in the 64bit OS game for years now) has a downloadable beta of its consumer 64bit OS. Aside from Linux (which, for right now, is still not for the mass public), that's the only one there is.
